Tools for Building
My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes;
keep them in the midst of thine heart. —Proverbs 4:20–21
Here is what is required to dig deep and build a strong spiritual house: attend to His words. You do not need to attend to the news media’s word, the magazine’s word, the newspaper’s word, even some friend or relative’s word. Attend to the Word of God. How do you attend? Incline your ear, or listen, to the Word. We have the internet, TV, radios, all kinds of means that God has provided to get the Word into your ears. You are listening to something—let it be His Word. Let it not depart from your eyes! Look at the Word as the promises of God. Let them paint a picture in your imagination of you as healed! You as blessed! You as anointed! You as rich! You as on top! You as victorious! See the Word, not the problems. Keep it in the midst of your heart! What you allow in your ears and through your eyes will get into your heart. Whatever gets into your heart in abundance, you will speak (Matthew 12:34), and what you speak will produce life or death—a solid house or a ruined house. Life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). Your tongue will speak from a heart that is full of whatever you allow in your ears and receive through your eyes. Building a strong house, a house that will stand, is easy! Just attend to His Word! Give your attention to the Word of God!

THE WORD, THE FOUNDATION - An Unshakeable Life

An Unshakeable Life
But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man
that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently,
and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great. —Luke 6:49
It is possible to build on a sand foundation, possible to not dig deep, but to build on the surface of the Word of God. For a while it will seem as if everything is okay. The house is going up faster than the rock house; it will be done sooner. As long as the sun is shining, as long as sickness stays away, as long as financial trouble does not come, everything is going well, and the house is looking good. But when the flood comes, when the wind blows, when the streams hit, immediately it will fall. You cannot build on tradition; you cannot build on religious quotes; you cannot build on what your family says, what the doctor says, what the economists say, even what Christian TV says. You need to go to the Word for yourself and get your own foundation. The Word of God and the promise of God will stand the test of time. Heaven and earth will pass away, but the Word will not. Start your healing home on the Word—start your love home on the Word—start your prosperity home on the Word—start your minis- try on the Word. If you need direction, read the Word! If you need advice, read the Word. If you need a word from God, read the Word! Hear and do the Word, build a house, dig deep, lay the foundation on the Rock. Notice it was not the flood that destroyed the house, not the wind, not the streams, but the foundation that caused the house to fall. Do not look at and concentrate on the storm; look at the foundation, and the storms will not matter! They cannot shake it!

THE WORD, THE FOUNDATION - The Flood Comes
Tuesday, February 10, 2026
He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. —Luke 6:48
We are building a spiritual house. We are laboring together with God (1 Corinthians 3:9). This house, which is who you are, must have a sure and solid foundation. The only foundation strong enough to make it through the test of time is Jesus Christ, or the Word of God (John 1:14). When you start to build, there is a guarantee that the floods will come, the wind will blow, the stream will beat against your house. You cannot live on the earth and be advancing in God without coming in contact with opposing spiritual forces. Demons have made it their mandate to come against you, your possessions, and your God-given rights. They will come to destroy your house! But you have everything you need as a spiritual builder: you have the Holy Spirit, who is greater than all demons (1 John 4:4). You have authority that will cause the enemy to flee (James 4:7). You have prayer in the Spirit, which will build and strengthen you (Jude v. 20), and you have the Word of God, which is bigger than any lie of the devil (Ephesians 6:17). You must build on the foundation of the Word. You must dig deep into the Word, not just be a skimmer of the Word. The result will be a solid home, a sure foundation, a house that cannot be shaken or destroyed. To build on any other foundation will end up in ruin. Start building on the Rock today!

THE WORD, THE FOUNDATION - The Battle Begins
Monday, February 9, 2026
Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul. —1 Peter 2:11
There is a daily war against your soul—against your mind, will, and emotions. After God’s life enters your spirit through the new birth, a battle begins when that life of God starts to be released from your spirit, through your soul, and into your body (1 Thessalonians 5:23). Revival life is meant to and can touch all three areas of you. Whatever you attend to and prioritize in your life will eventually manifest. You must give attention to spiritual things more than to natural things! The Word of God is a spiritual thing. It is alive and powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword. It will pierce and divide asunder the soul and the spirit, the joints and the marrow (Hebrews 4:12). It will have an effect on your entire being. The attacks that come against your soul are to keep you from allowing this life to manifest out of your spirit. You are losing the battle of the soul if you are born again yet living like every other person who is not born again. They worry— you worry. They are afraid—you are afraid. They live powerless— you live powerless. You must abstain from, keep away from, things that cause you to lose the war of the soul. Sow to the Spirit, and you will reap of the Spirit! Sow to the flesh, and you will reap of the flesh! It is your choice. Live with revival in your spirit only, or become a living revival!

REDEEMED - Right Now
Friday, February 6, 2026
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. —Hebrews 9:12
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people . . . that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. —Luke 1:68, 74–75
He has obtained an eternal redemption for us. You are eternally redeemed. To redeem means to “buy back” or to “set free.” Through his sin, Adam sold you out to the devil, sin, and the curse, but Jesus, with His own blood, paid the price for you and your redemption. You are now, today, set free from all the power of darkness. Sin, sickness, fear, guilt, condemnation, and lack are all things of the past for you, because you have been set free by the Blood. Do not tolerate the lying symptoms and circumstances designed to take you out of your redemption. Jesus entered in once and has obtained eternal redemption for you! It is yours! Think about it, meditate on it, and praise Him for it! Resist anything that tries to steal it! You are the redeemed!
